Tower Hamlets Homes is an award-winning ALMO (Arms-Length Management Organisation). We are a not-for-profit company, set up in 2008 to deliver high quality housing services for residents living in 21,000 homes in East London, including 9,000 leasehold homes and 12,000 tenanted homes. We deliver our services for Tower Hamlets council, who own the homes whilst we manage the tenancies and leases for them. We are more than just a housing management company. Our vision is to create thriving, safe, and sustainable neighbourhoods where residents can be proud of their homes, respect one another and realise their potential.
We have achieved a lot in recent years, winning the prestigious Landlord of the Year award and the Inclusion and Diversity Pioneer award at the UK Housing Awards in 2019. We also won two Engagement Excellence awards in 2018, recognising our modern and forward-looking approach to employee reward and recognition. Over the coming months, we will be developing our new Business Plan 2020-23, as well as refreshing our People Strategy to ensure that our workforce practices continue to support our organisational strategy. With a new strategy taking shape, and with an organisational culture that values working together to develop creative solutions that help the business move forward, it’s a really exciting time to join our highly-regarded People Services team and create inspiring learning environments and opportunities for our colleagues.
